Yesterday we went out and bought 2 RDS8000's with a buddy cord and are going to have fun installing and programming. He is very excited about the new Tx's and immediately turned it on and was flipping through the menus to see what everything did. He really tested my knowledge by asking countless question, quite a few a could not answer. He may just turn out better than me when it comes to using the features on the radio. He was mad when the battery went dead from the initial charge and had to stop playing with it to charge it. Today we will start installing them in the our planes and set up the buddy box system. Will be fun. I still have to fix my plane from last weeks minor off runway excursion. Erik is afraid of crashing but i do think he knows that it can just be part of flying. He has seen me crash and repair mine several times so he knows it is not the end of the world.
